Why do this research?
COPE’s 2016-2018 strategic plan identified a new priority: to increase diversity culturally, geographically, and by discipline.
Although COPE provides guidance that spans all subjects, some resources need enhancement to better support editors in subjects beyond science, technology, engineering and medicine. Journal editors in the arts, humanities and social sciences need new resources which provide tailored support.
So, to better understand the needs of journal editors in these disciplines, COPE is conducting research through an online survey.
About the survey
COPE is partnering with Routledge and Shift Learning, a market research agency, to investigate the publication ethics issues faced by editors in the arts, humanities and social sciences.
Through a short online survey, COPE and Routledge want to hear about:
- Your experiences of publication ethics
- Where you look to for guidance and support
- What issues you are dealing with in your role as a journal editor
The feedback gathered through the online survey will shape COPE’s approach to providing new resources for editors in these fields. This includes resources specifically for ethical issues which only occur in these disciplines.
